Does depression moderate the relationship between pain and suicidality in adolescence? A moderated network analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Whilst growing research suggests that pain is associated with suicidality in adolescence, it remains unclear whether this relationship is moderated by co-morbid depressive symptoms. The present study aimed to investigate whether the pain-suicidality association is moderated by depressive symptoms.

Methods

We performed secondary analyses on cross-sectional, pre-intervention data from the 'My Resilience in Adolescence' [MYRIAD] trial (ISRCTN ref: 86619085; N=8072, 11-15 years). Using odds ratio tests and (moderated) network analyses, we investigated the relationship between pain and suicidality, after controlling for depression, anxiety, inhibitory control deficits and peer problems. We investigated whether depression moderates this relationship and explored gender
